Wonderful to spend another day working with schools to help them audit their online safety provision and practice. This brilliant audit tool is free to use and really helps the schools to focus in on many aspects that they may not have considered. I can definitely see some Online Safety Awards on the way.

Wonderful training session in school this afternoon, discussing online safety with staff and presenting the highs and the lows! At the end of the session staff were aware of the current trends in social media and gaming, knew where to look for further help and advice and how to access a huge range of resources. Thanks to everyone at Star Academy for being so responsive and a great audience!
